Tang An arrived at the premiere at 6 p.m. Although tomorrow is New Year's Eve, there are not many viewers in the cinema.
It's not a special effects blockbuster, so it wasn't converted into an IMAX version, and the premiere was held in a 2D theater with more than 300 people.
On the stage, Chen Guofu, Wang Wei and the leading actors were all on stage. Tang An was sitting under the stage, chatting with several bosses around him.
The new year is here, and major companies are also ushering in new pk.
All major companies are listed, and as a listed company, performance is very important.
The success or failure of any blockbuster may affect stock price fluctuations of hundreds of millions or even billions, so we must be cautious.
Wang Zhongjun has launched four major productions this year, aiming to steal the spotlight from the Han and Tang dynasties and consolidate his position as the boss of a private company.
Relatively speaking, Bernard and Guangxian invested in and released relatively few films this year.
Last year, in addition to "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", Bernard also had several movies such as "Overheard 2", "The God of Wealth Inn" and "The Magician", all of which produced profits. Plus distribution fees, he made a lot of money.
Moreover, last year's "New Shaolin Temple" co-produced with Huayi only had a domestic box office of just over 200 million yuan, but it also sold 170 million yuan overseas.
Although Guangxian did not participate in the summer and Lunar New Year movies last year, he still had three profitable movies, "The Greatest Happiness", "Painting on the Wall" and "Hongmen Banquet".
Bernard has only one "Big Shanghai" to be released this year, which is the lowest output in recent years.
Speaking of this, Yu Dong also smiled bitterly.
Last year they participated in the investment of "Edge of Tomorrow", which sold well in North America and around the world, and was relatively successful in listing.
But in the past year, Bernard's films have not even made a splash in North America.
"New Shaolin Temple" and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" co-produced with Huayi and Yinghuang originally had great expectations, after all, Cheng Long and Jet Li were in it.
Who knew that the former sold very well in Southeast Asia and took over 100,000 US dollars in North America.
The latter is not much better.
Fortunately, the stock price has been preserved with the annual average return rate of 37%.
When asked, Yu Dong just chuckled and said, "Dr. Wang, if you release four blockbusters at once, it will be easier for us to fight, lest it be bad for both parties and end up in a lose-lose situation."
Wang Changtian also joked, "With you Huayi and Hantang here, the market can no longer accommodate other films, so I won't get involved, lest I become cannon fodder."
"You two are humble, there is still room for development in the domestic market."
Wang Zhongjun said politely, but the smile on his face did not diminish at all.
"1942" by Feng Xiaogang.
Comedy by Stephen Chow.
Cheng Long's kung fu comedy.
No need to think about it, they all have great potential.
Moreover, Cheng Long's kung fu comedy "Zodiac" will also have a lot of overseas scenes, so it will definitely sell a lot of money overseas.
The only one with some risks is "Tai Chi".
Wang Zhongjun is determined to make a big move this year.
He thought for a while and asked Tang An, "When will Director Tang start preparing for a new film? Will it be a science fiction film this time?"
Tang An shook his head, "I don't have a clue yet, the company has a lot of things to do, I'll think about it after the New Year."
Yu Dong smiled and said, "This year we are waiting for you, Director Wang and Director Tang, to compete."
Bernard, Guangxian's output this year is not high, and it has really become a duel between Huayi and Hantang. It is also time to see whether the boss of the old private film and television company will maintain his position, or the upstart Hantang in the industry will dominate the whole year for three consecutive years.
No. 1 in box office share.
If Hantang really beats Huayi this year and ranks first in market share for three consecutive years, then Huayi's position as the boss of private companies may not be so stable.
Yu Dong and Wang Changtian were waiting to see the duel between their two families. Wang Zhongjun was full of confidence, and Tang An was not afraid at all.
The activities on the stage ended quickly and the movie officially started screening.
The outline and main plot of the plot have not changed much compared to the original version, but after Chen Guowa's changes, it is still somewhat different from the original version.
The style has changed a bit from the original version, after all, the male protagonist has been replaced.
Although Wang Baoqiang and Deng Chao can both perform comedies, their styles are quite different.
In a different comedy style, Wang Baoqiang's madness was not as serious in Deng Dynasty, but his slickness, greed for money and lust were still retained.
If we really want to create an identical character and let Deng Chao act like Wang Baoqiang, the effect will definitely not be good.
As a negative person, with the function of being ridiculed, Wang Baoqiang's performance did not make the audience hate him. A large part of the reason is his past popularity with the audience.
Of course, Qin Haoran also plays a role in it. There is an obvious contrast between the two protagonists in this "partner movie", one is positive and the other is negative.
It was Liu Haoran's positive image, coupled with Wang Baoqiang's popularity with the audience, that made that crazy and silly performance acceptable to the audience.
Similarly, he pretended to be crazy and acted foolishly. Bao Baoer failed in "Embarrassed in Hong Kong" and made the audience feel disgusted. He does not have the audience popularity of Wang Baoqiang.
Deng Chao's performance was a little more "sane" and not so crazy.
However, the comedy effect is still very good. The greedy, lustful, glib Deng Chao and the cute Liu Haoran form a strong contrast.
Although the laughs in the film are not as intensive as those in "囧囧", the two of them talking and working together make people laugh.
The laughter that came from time to time in the cinema was enough to prove the success of the movie, and the filmmakers who were invited to the scene had to sigh at the awesomeness of the Han and Tang Dynasties.
There is no one in a mature series that can succeed even after changing directors and starring actors.
Just after the audience had enjoyed themselves for an hour and a half, it was nearing the end.
The melodious and soothing background music stopped for a few seconds, and then suddenly buzzed.
Zhang Zifeng, who was sitting on the hospital bed reading a book, suddenly raised his head, his innocent smile suddenly turned into a piercing sneer.
"ah!"
"Nima!"
"Fuck, I was scared to death."
"I'll go and direct your uncle's work!"
Her shoulder-length hair, parted in the middle, covered half of her face on both sides. With her charming smile and background music, the audience was caught off guard and startled.
With the first half of the movie being so funny, the audience was completely unprepared, as if an experienced driver was driving a roller coaster, slowly rising to the top and then suddenly swooping down, without even the time to react.
The audience was shocked, and many male audience members had their arms hugged by the strange girls next to them.
It seems good to be frightened. There are also benefits to watching movies.
The sudden benefits made the male viewers feel so happy that they didn't even feel like scolding them for being scared just now. They wished they could be scared every time they watched the movie.
Some male viewers were even thinking about watching a few more shows tomorrow to see if they could enjoy it again.
ps: Zhang Zifeng is 12 years old this year. By default, girls are mature.
